Lots of Fault Messages this Morning!

[crotchrocket]

Set off to work and had the front brake lever pulsed on my drive, the ABS kicked in at 2mph. weird!!! that was followed by ABS, Traction Control, Spring Strut Adjustment and Emergency Call System Errors. Switched off and on, all seemed fine. Hammering up the A3 a loss of power and the same faults came up.

Stopped the bike and now realise I am to blame for the ABS issues, I wheeled the bike forward with the D-Lock on this morning, felt the resistance and took the lock off. Turns out that I had actually bent the front ABS ring! (Tit) and in tern that has worn down the ABS Sensor. So I'll get those ordered and replaced.

BUT not sure about the suspension strut adjustment and emergency call system errors at the same time? Thoughts are the battery is on its way out and the ABS pump whirring caused a low voltage? the battery is 12.2v. Could be a combination of those things flashing up such errors? I cant see there would be any link between those issues and the ABS. Bike is in warranty but this is clearly my fault so want to see the best way forward.

Sorry it's a 2018 1200GSA !!!

Mine (2020 1250GSA) has given all those warnings and was as a result of a dying battery.

Blimey! It certainly made a mess of that ABS ring!

Good job you weren’t somewhere remote.

I bent the front ABS ring on my 1250 whilst fitting a tyre, didn't realise until I rode it the next morning, all manor of faults on the display, some you'd not have thought would have anything to do with ABS.
Bent the ring back into shape, was bent about 4mm towards the wheel, everything went back to normal.

I swear it was a gently nudge, I was surprised at the bent ring!

Thank you! i'll order those bits first and see if it sorts it out!

No need to replace it pal. Just take it off put it face down on a flat piece of wood and tap it flat with a plastic hammer.

Ouch. In future why don't you put the disclock on the rear disc? It's far more difficult to beat than when it's on the front (they just cut the disc with an angle grinder) and could well prevent damage to the ABS ring too as well as giving you more of a clue you've left it on as the rear suspension starts to compress rather than the abrupt stop you get if it's on the front, plus you're less likely to drop it too for the same reason

Your ABS phonic ring is repairable, it just needs straightening up as has been said. Your sensor on the other hand may well need to be replaced if it has worn through the plastic closest to the ring.

thanks all, replaced the ring and sensor, all fault codes now gone!! Have manipulated the ABS ring back into shape, and its in the rear tool box as a spare.

The lock is D shackle, a Liteloc one. Have now added a fluorescent lanyard!
